Town Hall Rich List 2011
In the East Riding Council, then according to the Rich List, 12 top officers received over £100,000 in remuneration (includes expenses, benefits in-kind, and employers' pension contributions). This included Nigel Pearson the Chief Executive who enjoyed £201,000 remuneration including his salary, fees and allowances of £176,000.
Other top remuneration quoted for 2009-10 includes £163,000 for the Director of Corporate Resources (increase of 5.2%) and £152,000 for the Director of Children, Family and Adult Services (increase of 2.0%).
In its Press Release the TPA said:
"Since the first Town Hall Rich List in 2007, the number of senior staff receiving such large sums has soared and the latest list shows that trend continuing. Executive pay in town halls across the UK has continued to be insulated from economic reality, despite the urgent need to find savings and many councils claiming they are being forced to cut services because they are getting less money from central government."For the first time, the TPA research has been compiled primarily from councils’ statements of accounts. Previously the Town Hall Rich List has been derived from Freedom of Information requests, but the Government is now urging councils to provide detailed remuneration reports for senior officers.
